My Age of Investment

  Chapter 1033 Five Horses Divided

  After playing golf, the three of them went back to their homes after lunch.

  Wait in the evening, Yang Zhiyuan called Xia Jingxing, connected and asked: "What do you mean by tapping my hand three times during lunch?"

A smile appeared on Xia Jingxing's face, "Have you never read Journey to the West?"

   "Have you seen it, but you didn't knock me on the head?"

  Yang Zhiyuan made a few jokes, and finally started talking about the topic: "Come out to drink at a bar, I know there is a private club nearby that has a good collection of wine."

  Xia Jingxing responded with a smile, put on her coat in a hurry, and prepared to go out.

  Kristina had just put the child to sleep and was about to go downstairs to chat with Xia Jingxing for a while, only when she walked to the stairs, she saw him going out.

  "Will you go out so late?"

  Xia Jingxing glanced back at her, and smiled: "Jerry has been under a lot of pressure recently. I'll show him a clear way."

  "Don’t waste your effort. Now the entire Silicon Valley knows that Jerry is very resistant to this deal. It’s useless for anyone to persuade him."

  Kristina leaned against the handrail of the stairs, folded her hands on her chest, and looked at the ceiling with her head, looking very unoptimistic.

Xia Jingxing went away in no hurry, walked over to gently lifted Christina’s white as jade face, and looked at the azure blue eyes, "Would you like to make a bet? If I do it, you promise me one thing. ."

   "What if it didn't happen?" Kristina asked back.

   "I promise you one thing!"

  Kristina just thought for a while and replied: "No problem, I promised! Don't worry, I won't mention anything embarrassing you."

Xia Jingxing smiled, was about to turn around and leave, was pulled by Christina, she meticulously helped him straighten out the folds on his clothes, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Go, I wish you success. "

  Xia Jingxing noticed the silver bracelet on Kristina’s hand, her eyelids twitched, "Don’t you like to wear this rustic antique?"

  Kristina scratched her sleeves, stretched out her white wrist, and turned around in front of Xia Jingxing, “Does it look good? Who said I don’t like it? I just don’t wear it outside, just wear it at home.”

  If Xia Jingxing had some enlightenment, he didn't dare to talk more about this topic, so he hurried out.

  Sitting in the car, he was a little uneasy. Thinking back to Kristina’s words, he always felt that there was something in the words.

  Without thinking for too long, the car quickly arrived at the club where Yang Zhiyuan had an appointment for a drink.

  As soon as Xia Jingxing walked through the door, a waiter greeted him, talked a few words, and then took Xia Jingxing to the room where Yang Zhiyuan was.

   Seeing Xia Jingxing coming, Yang Zhiyuan, who was drinking alone, put down his glass, got up and greeted Xia Jingxing: "Dalun, sit down and drink something?"

   "Whiskey!"

  Yang Zhiyuan whispered to the waiter, who bowed and exited the room, closing the door gently.

  "Is it necessary to avoid Jack? He is very enthusiastic about this." Yang Zhiyuan lifted his glass and looked at Xia Jingxing who was sitting across from him with a big smile.

  Xia Jingxing smiled, Lao Ma thought that he was doing it very low-key, but his careful thoughts were all seen through by Yang Zhiyuan.

  Perhaps because of his personality, Yang Zhiyuan didn't point it out. In fact, he knew everything in his heart.

  At this level of wealth, it can be said to be well-informed. Xiaobai and nerds will also be rendered as business bosses. Anyone who plays with them will only be underestimated.

  So, Xia Jingxing didn't play a virtual game, and said very frankly: "As long as we reach an agreement, he will let me talk."

  Yang Zhiyuan nodded slightly, and just about to speak, he heard a knock on the door.

After waiting for the waiter to enter the room and put down the wine and leave, Yang Zhiyuan picked up the whiskey and poured a glass for Xia Jingxing, then took out two cigars from the humidor on the side and handed one to Xia Jingxing.

  Yang Zhiyuan cut his cigar hat while saying: "How do you plan to arrange me?"

   "What's the arrangement? I'm serious."

  Xia Jingxing immediately shook his head and burst into laughter. After a while, he looked at Yang Zhiyuan, and said sincerely and firmly: "To be precise, it is cooperation!"

Yang Zhiyuan struck a match, held the cigar horizontally in his other hand, and slowly rotated it. After the small flame had evenly blackened the cigar port, he took a sip in his mouth and exhaled a large amount of smoke, "Go ahead," How to cooperate?"

   "Yahoo Mail and the 26% stake in Alina were split and sold to Envision Capital, Alli’s management... and Facebook."

  Yang Zhiyuan reacted calmly and looked at Xia Jingxing with a rather playful smile, “Didn’t you have no interest in merging Yahoo before? Why are you interested again now.”

Xia Jingxing also lit a cigar here. He took a big breath and spit it out. The thick smoke enveloped most of his face in the smoke. "I thought about it, you, the most outstanding Chinese in Silicon Valley, shouldn't just sink into it. Even more shouldn't step down behind a bad name."

  Under the dim light, Yang Zhiyuan's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "So, are you helping me?"

  "Help you, and also help myself!"

  Xia Jingxing spread out his hands, with a very open look.

  Yang Zhiyuan shook his head slightly, "Sorry, I can't accept this plan to divide Yahoo!"

  Xia Jingxing chuckled, "This is not five horses dividing the body, but a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon, completely ushering in a new life.

  Do you think Yahoo can turn around now? You, the captain, cannot decide the direction of travel, you are just a firefighter who is temporarily invited to put out the fire. "

  Yang Zhiyuan was not angry, but smiled, "Dalun, I understand what you mean, I want Facebook to annex Yahoo Mail and continue to expand the boundaries of Facebook."

  Speaking of this, Yang Zhiyuan spoke, "But you should understand that I have a deep affection for Yahoo, and I will never tolerate it like pork, cut into pieces and put it on the supermarket shelf for anyone to choose."

  Xia Jingxing and Yang Zhiyuan looked at each other, but they didn't speak. The room became quiet, only a cloud of smoke rose.

  "You come to be the chairman of Facebook, next year or the year after, let's ring the bell and go public!"

  Yang Zhiyuan shook his head again, “Dalun, I don’t care about this.”

  "Even if Yahoo and Facebook merged one-to-one, you are only a minority shareholder with less than two stakes. Let you be the CEO. Are you confident that you can take that position?"

  Xia Jingxing looked at Yang Zhiyuan with piercing eyes, and her tone was no longer relaxed, but with a hint of questioning.

  Yang Zhiyuan took a long sigh, “I know I’m not a competent CEO, nor a good founder. It’s just the good luck of the times.

  You are stronger than me. With all kinds of capital shifting, distant relations and close attacks, you are still the largest shareholder of Facebook, and you can also exert a significant influence on Facebook. "

  Xia Jingxing sneered, "It is meaningless to talk about this now. Our eyes should be on the future, not on the past."

  Yang Zhiyuan was a little entangled in his heart. One of them was reluctant to sell Yahoo. The other was that he still had some baggage in his heart and couldn't let it go. Being swallowed by his little brother Facebook is not a good reputation.

  But on another thought, the other party has given me great dignity, let me be the chairman of Facebook, and ring the bell to go public together.

  Future Facebook listing may be a 100 billion U.S. dollar IPO, refreshing the record of financing technology stocks, enough to be worthy of him, the number one Internet man of the century, and may be able to regain the lost reputation.

  As for stocks and value, he must go back in his mind.
